  ★★★ Watched 31 Mar 2025

  Watched at an early preview showing in town. Pretty funny and heartfelt with a historical backdrop I don’t see enough in cinema.

  ★★★½ Watched 21 Feb 2022 2

  Nice little experimental film with beautiful shots of Scotland and Sardinia. That last shot really made me miss the Italian sun.

  Rob Roy 1995

  ★★★½ Rewatched 26 Sep 2019

  For some reason, I only remembered the landscapes of this film and after a short jaunt to the Highlands thought this would be the perfect film to reflect on it.

  God. Damn. This film was a bit odd, there was more toilet, sexual assault and dead animals than I remember. Otherwise, as a about the honourable to a fault Rob Roy its quite fun to watch.

  Tim Roth has a great performance as the villain Archibald. Whilst Liam Neesons imposing presence could've been used for William Wallace in Braveheart instead.
